290.15 '''Geli Tripping'''<br />
Another name taken from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_and_Sullivan Gilbert and Sullivan], this time from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.M.S._Pinafore ''HMS Pinafore''] (1878). When the Female Relations of Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty, board the ship, they sing, "Gaily tripping,/ Lightly skipping,/ Flock the maidens to the shipping." ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiDsxbqV3rw Have a listen...]) The name is not without psychedelic overtones reminiscent of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Pranksters Merry Pranksters].

ALSO, in Pynchon's 2025 novel ''Shadow Ticket'' we have Glow Tripforth del Vasto, "to trip forth" having basically the same meaning as "gaily tripping," both rather archaic phrases meaning to move lightly, happily, and with a dancing or skipping step.
